โThere's two sides, the detective side, and the other side. Be nice and you might see both.โ
As a detective, Elliot is the most professional person on the job. She doesn't treat anyone with any special quirks, but rather every person she speaks with is her subject. She remains extremely professional with her partner when on the job and depending on if she likes her partner, she will be more personal with them off duty. However, with that being said, Elliot is focused on keeping her work life and her personal life separate, simply because she doesn't think that the two should mix at all. At work, she's considered to be a strong asset to her division, and she is always determined to solve every case she is assigned to. She can get easily frustrated when people get in the way of her trying to complete a case, especially if it's over something stupid.
Outside of work, Elliot is the type of person who wants to go out for a beer, meet some people for the night, flirt a little and go home alone. She loves to party, loves to socialize and loves to be around people. She's rarely at home in her apartment, and when she is, she usually has people over. Although she likes to drink recreationally, it is rare for her to get wasted. She'll get tipsy, but only when she's had a really bad time at work or is at an ultimate party will she drink excessively. However, since Elliot is mainly focused on her job and can be called in at a moment's notice, she refrains from drinking on days she doesn't have off.
Elliot can be a good listener, but that's only in circumstances for when she actually likes the person. She will be there for someone she trusts, and she will always put other people's lives before her own. Unless she has some ridiculous grudge against you, then it's every man for themselves. It's not the easiest process getting on her good side, but when you are, it can take a lot to get off of it. However, if you do get off of her good side, there's little to no way back on it.
โCan't say I hated my childhood, rather, I loved it.โ
In the earliest years of Elliot's childhood, she was raised by her grandparents while her mother had spent the first few years of Elliot's life in a Coma. The result of a drunk driver slamming into the woman's car and sending her car into a pole. After her mother came out of the Coma, the woman was very disoriented and was in rehabilitation for another year before she was released and cleared to meet her daughter once again. At that point, Elliot hadn't remembered the woman, but her grandmother had made it her mission to make sure that young Elliot had at least known the face of her mother.
They reconnected and became close, their relationship continuing to stay that way all the way up until the present. Her father had been absent since before she had even left the womb. Her mother had always said it was a man who got involved with her for a one-time kind of thing and was soon enough gone and out of the picture. Her mother, being the one that got rid of him, didn't want him raising a child with her because she felt he wasn't worthy enough. However, when he found out about Elliot's birth he had made is clear that he wanted to be in her life. This caused a lot of problems between her parents until they spent a couple months in and out of court coming up with a decision. It was from the final decision that Elliot's parents were forced to share her, which caused them to compete for her love.
She wasn't the biggest fan of this, however, she didn't argue it either. She spent a lot of time in high-school being called the spoiled girl since her parents would attempt to buy her love. Elliot mostly ignored the students that gave her crap, and didn't care if they understood her situation or not. She graduated with high honors and went to the University of California at Irvine to study Criminology. From there, she moved to Albuquerque. New Mexico to become a detective, and is now employed in New Mexico as a detective. As her career began, she also started to take classes on the side in order to work on self-defense. After three years, she has become very well versed in Aikido.
Aside from her education, her later years were full of a lot of experience that would be deemed typical by a college student. This included tons of parties at Fraternities and Sororities, doing stupid and reckless things, and of course, tons of drinking. Except for finding her junior year roommate dead, which was the main force behind her becoming a detective. Something she because very set on was to save lives as much as she could by putting the killers behind bars. This drive is what continues to make her be organized and serious about her work, and ultimately what helps her succeed.
